The Kingdom of New Harris is a huge, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 548 million New Harrisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong New Harrisian economy, worth 36.7 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 67,056 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of New Harris's radio stations. Crime is relatively low. New Harris's national animal is the Robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Harris is ranked 91,567^th in the world and 51^st in The Union of Democratic States for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 104.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
